Johnny Depp Reportedly Considering Starring In Southeastern Ohio Movie…Do I have your attention???? Hocking Hills WHY..WHY..WHY.. I’ll show you some scenery from the Winter Hike In the Hocking Hills, and I’m sure the beautiful setting is part of the reason. LINK

Ash Cave above…The film “Crooked Tree” is based on the best-selling novel by Robert Wilson that was published in 1980.The novel is a horror tale that looks at strange attacks in Crooked Tree State Forest in the state of Michigan.

“Crooked Tree”: New York Times Bestseller based on a Native American legend set in Northern Michigan,and hopefully filmed in the Hocking Hills.

The dam at Rose Lake.

“Crooked Tree”: "Crooked Tree is flat-out terrific. Well-crafted with lush descriptions of Michigan's north country, this book will send chills down your spine as it builds suspense upon suspense." --Detroit Free Press…

If you would like to read an excerpt from the book CLICK (Beware of the bears)

“Crooked Tree” "An intelligent horror story with skin-crawling entertainment. “Crooked Tree” is one of the rare books that uses Indian lore with intelligence and respect. The result is an unusual thriller whose supernatural roots are native witchcraft and the werewolf-like concept of 'the Grizzly Woman'." --Denver Post

I’m going to have to read this book. Just ordered from Amazon. CLICK… Crooked Tree I hope there are no OWL attacks in the book………….

The movie project is expected to hire approximately 220 Ohioans as part of the cast and crew. (maybe I could be an “Extra”) (Linda says I’m already an “Extra”)

Had a chance to chat with Smokey at the fire tower.

At least one gentleman did the winter hike barefoot CLICK to read more….Almost to Ash Cave

OR

Ohio tourism officials brought one of the movie's producers through The Inn At Cedar Falls to discuss the possibility of a cast party. (I think that is a good sign)

I wanted to reach out to connect with you about a graphic timeline I helped create about Martin Luther King Jr. and his lasting legacy.

I came across this post on your site: In Honor Of Dr. Martin Luther King,Jr. and given that you might have an interest, I thought it’d be a great fit and wanted to see if you’d be interested in taking a look at the piece. If so, let me know and I’d love to pass it along!

Thanks, Allison M.
